Of course the other bad thing in that situation was Reid’s playcalling. Threw the ball on 2nd down and the receiver dropped it. This saved Cleveland 40 seconds. Throwing on 3rd down led to the sack. Run the ball on 2nd and 3rd down to kill 80 seconds of clock and stay in good FG range to give yourself a 3 possession lead.

I just don't think he'll ever 'learn' from that. He's a playmaker; it's his instinct. And he's gonna try to make a play there. It's just a hard switch to flip off and I'm not sure we'd really want him to.
What irritates me was the playcall because it put him to his left. You could see him getting ready to try to throw it away but he had to expose himself to a shot to do it so he thought better of it and tried to reverse field to give himself a way to get rid of that ball on the move.
Putting him to his left made that play 100 times more difficult not just to execute but also to salvage. It also left him open to taking a hit if he DID try to just unload.
It was just a really maddening playcall, IMO.
